Curator's pick: KNIPEX 13 71 200 ME Multifunctional Electricians Pliers
This is the best hybrid I've found because the shears actually cut clean through 6 AWG without the joint loosening over time like cheaper multi-tools. The lead edge is blunt enough to prevent nicking the insulation when you're working fast in a tight panel.
⚠ Worth knowing: These pliers use a metric-optimized design that works fine on most US wire gauges, but if you strictly work with solid core Romex all day, the dedicated American-style forged strippers have slightly more aggressive teeth for that specific task. Also, keep the pivot oiled regularly; the tolerances are tight and they will bind if left in a damp job box.
